PONTIFF’S PERSONALITY SHINES THROUGH IN NYC Pope Benedict XVI celebrated mass before a loud jubilant crowd at Yankee Stadium Sunday before ending his six-day tour in the United States. I watched the mass on CNN. I used the bathroom twice and wondered about the bladders of the people in attendance. The mass, for Catholics and non-Catholics, lasted two and one-half hours. The Pope’s visit was notable for its acts of contrition to conscience and its appeals for humanity and peace. He took head-on the scandal with Catholic pri...
What I really want to tell you is how to make a quick bread pudding. I love it with a lemon sauce, although I never remember my mama making a sauce. I do remember that she always used left over biscuits. If I don’t have biscuits for my pudding, I make a small pan full, store bought biscuits are pretty good.

I have been trying to loose a little weight so I have been trying to cut down on the c...

He asked the departments that use the most gasoline and other petroleum fuels to work on ways to cut back. Those departments include the sheriff’s office, road and bridge, transportation, and parks. “I think it’s a challenge for every department head to come up with a plan,” he said. Thibodeaux said conservation may mean fewe...

A few months back, I noticed where some city councils in our area either had tabled or given up considering cameras at signal lights. I wasn’t surprised for more and more, elected officials are caving in to a handful of complaints from a handful of citizens without fully looking into the matter. You know, the squeaking wheel syndrome. I guess that’s okay, Hey, that’s how you get re-elected. Forget about the fact that someone might be killed in an accident because an idiot tries to beat a red light. That has happened too f...
Because the New York Giants did something none of the football experts thought could ever happen, all National Football League teams have changed some of their philosophy for this weekend’s upcoming draft. When the Giants upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII a couple of months ago by sacking quarterback Tom Brady five times, flattening him or pressuring him on at least a dozen other plays and holding a Patriots team that had scored 589 points during the regular season to 14 measly points, it opened the eyes of ev...
